Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries (chopped)
- 1 cup Mandarin oranges (peeled and segmented)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Green grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Purple grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 1 package Vanilla pudding mix (instant)
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 packages Rainbow-colored gelatin packets
- 3 cups Hot water
- 3 cups Cold water
Instructions
Prepare the rainbow-colored gelatin by dissolving each packet in 1 cup of hot water, then adding 1 cup of cold water to each. Pour the gelatin into individual bowls and refrigerate until fully set (about 4 hours or overnight).
Once the gelatin is set, use a small spoon or cookie scoop to break it into small, colorful pieces. Set aside.
In a clear serving bowl or trifle dish, begin layering the fruit in rainbow order, starting with strawberries (red), followed by mandarin oranges (orange), pineapple chunks (yellow), green grapes (green), blueberries (blue), and purple grapes (purple). Each fruit layer should be about an inch thick.
Spread a layer of the broken gelatin pieces over the fruits to add a fun and colorful accent.
In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the pudding mix with milk according to the package directions. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In another bowl, beat the whipping cream with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding to create a light and creamy golden layer.
Spoon the golden pudding layer on top of the gelatin and fruit to complete the dessert.
Optional: Garnish with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles for extra festivity.
Refrigerate the Pot O' Gold Rainbow until ready to serve. Serve chilled and enjoy!
